00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:00.701
That is a win.

00:00:00.701 --> 00:00:06.846
But why is but that's what I don't understand All that stuff you said about Tua number one in yards.

00:00:06.846 --> 00:00:13.625
Okay, he's got lethal weapons to throw to, why is he number 12?

00:00:14.260 --> 00:00:15.285
Because I don't trust him.

00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:24.533

We're the Pick'em Pros.

00:00:45.469 --> 00:00:53.627
We are the Pick'em Pros coming back at you in the house with episode 104 of who Ya Got Father-Son Dynamic Duo.

00:00:53.627 --> 00:00:59.406
Right now it's the summertime, which means it is fantasy football and we're diving into all things fantasy.

00:00:59.406 --> 00:00:59.707
My man.

00:00:59.707 --> 00:01:02.109
Yeah man, Fantasy football is what I do.

00:01:02.109 --> 00:01:03.381
Yeah, yeah, fantasy football is what I do.

00:01:03.381 --> 00:01:04.960
Yeah, yeah, fantasy football is what I do.

00:01:04.960 --> 00:01:11.504
I've got the trophies, I've got the rings, I'm ready to win another championship man, I don't think you have any rings.

00:01:11.805 --> 00:01:12.786
I do have rings.

00:01:12.786 --> 00:01:14.126
It's all about titles.

00:01:14.126 --> 00:01:14.906
You know what I mean.

00:01:14.906 --> 00:01:18.349
If you're not winning titles, you're not really playing, you know?

00:01:18.349 --> 00:01:21.870
Okay, all right.

00:01:21.870 --> 00:01:26.712
Well, hey, today we are ranking our top 20 fantasy quarterbacks.

00:01:26.712 --> 00:01:29.394
We've already given you our top 20 wide receivers.

00:01:29.394 --> 00:01:30.715
You can go back and check that out.

00:01:30.715 --> 00:01:33.456
We've given you our top 20 running backs.

00:01:33.456 --> 00:01:43.831
We did that from the West Coast last week and now we're back home in Raleigh, north Carolina, and we are going to go ahead and give you our top 20 quarterbacks.

00:01:43.831 --> 00:01:47.524
So, before we go into our rankings, you're going to go, I'm going to go.

00:01:47.524 --> 00:01:50.611
We'll do 20 through 11, and then we'll go through our top 10.

00:01:50.611 --> 00:01:55.311
But before we dive into these rankings, let's first give some tips on drafting quarterbacks.

00:01:55.311 --> 00:01:59.871
Man, what tips do you want to give everybody in terms of how you draft your quarterback?

00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:05.152
Yo, I know I personally don't like to draft quarterbacks in the first few rounds.

00:02:05.152 --> 00:02:08.509
I don't like to start until maybe the fourth, fifth round.

00:02:08.509 --> 00:02:11.606
I like to get my QB first.

00:02:11.606 --> 00:02:28.205
Three rounds usually go skill position, but if you want to make a big leap and go for a QB, maybe get Josh Allen, a guy who can throw for a lot of yards and run for a lot of yards and he's never been hurt before, so you don't have to worry about him being injured.

00:02:28.205 --> 00:02:28.888
So yeah.

00:02:29.168 --> 00:02:32.786
So why don't you take, why don't you take a quarterback in the first few rounds?

00:02:34.189 --> 00:02:36.356
uh, it's just not as valuable.

00:02:36.356 --> 00:02:38.181
You know, I'm saying because you can get.

00:02:38.181 --> 00:02:44.186
You can get quarterbacks later, so I spend a pick on a quarterback early, right yeah, no, and I agree with you.

00:02:44.225 --> 00:02:45.250
I have the same philosophy.

00:02:45.250 --> 00:02:48.887
I feel that quarterbacks really one through 12.

00:02:48.887 --> 00:02:51.010
There's not a lot of difference.

00:02:51.010 --> 00:02:53.703
Um, there's, you know the.

00:02:53.703 --> 00:02:54.867
The difference is minimal.

00:02:54.867 --> 00:03:08.272
Where it's more valuable for you to build around the quarterback, it's more valuable for you to get those wide receivers that they're going to throw, to get the running backs, get those positions and then get your quarterback, because most teams carry one quarterback.

00:03:08.272 --> 00:03:16.020
So no one's going to start drafting their second quarterback until seventh round at earliest, probably eighth round.

00:03:16.020 --> 00:03:21.832
So you've got top 12 quarterbacks on the board the first six, seven rounds.

00:03:21.832 --> 00:03:31.569
So you can wait and stack your receivers, get your running backs and then get your quarterback, and you still have a quarterback that's going to put up big numbers.

00:03:31.569 --> 00:03:34.883
So that's our philosophy and the way that we like to do it.

00:03:34.883 --> 00:03:36.569
All right, yeah, yeah.

00:03:36.569 --> 00:03:39.024
Do you have any other tips?

00:03:39.465 --> 00:03:40.407
on drafting.

00:03:40.548 --> 00:03:41.330
I think that's it.

00:03:41.330 --> 00:03:43.947
Yeah, so I've got a few more.

00:03:43.947 --> 00:04:00.073
You always want to factor in health.

00:04:00.073 --> 00:04:01.114
I think that's it in.

00:04:01.114 --> 00:04:05.817
You want to factor the schedule in and you just want to factor how high-powered the offense is.

00:04:05.817 --> 00:04:19.766
If it's a high-powered offense, that's going to make you want to go with that quarterback over a team that's not going to have the ball that much, or a team that's going to run more, so you want to factor all those things in, especially as you're drafting your backup.

00:04:19.766 --> 00:04:22.148
So that's something important to consider.

00:04:22.148 --> 00:04:27.968
All right, well, hey, one last thing, man, how many quarterbacks do you like to carry?

00:04:27.968 --> 00:04:29.971
Do you like to carry two, or do you like to carry three?

00:04:29.971 --> 00:04:31.053
I just carry two.

00:04:31.819 --> 00:04:32.601
Okay, because the third.

00:04:32.601 --> 00:04:40.629
Unless the two quarterbacks have the same bye week, I might bring on a third for like a week, but I usually don't like to carry three.

00:04:40.629 --> 00:04:44.673
Just use that extra position on like a receiver or something, yeah.

00:04:45.220 --> 00:04:45.781
Okay to carry three.

00:04:45.781 --> 00:04:47.387
Just use that extra position on like a receiver or something, yeah, okay.

00:04:47.387 --> 00:04:48.331
Yeah, yeah, I agree, it depends on the situation.

00:04:48.331 --> 00:04:54.408
Every now and then you may want to have a third, especially if you have a a high risk um quarterback.

00:04:54.408 --> 00:05:01.108
So like, if you have aaron rogers this year, maybe you go three, just to you know, go a little deeper there.

00:05:01.108 --> 00:05:13.112
But yeah, yeah, I think for the most part you typically want to have two quarterbacks, all right, well, man, go ahead and start us off, give us your 20 through 11, and then I'll give you my 20 through 11, and then we'll go top 10.

00:05:13.112 --> 00:05:13.492
Who you got?

00:05:13.899 --> 00:05:19.721
Okay, number 20, I got Baker Mayfield from the Tampa Bay Bucs Last year.

00:05:19.721 --> 00:05:22.987
He had a Pro Bowl-caliber season with the Bucs.

00:05:22.987 --> 00:05:26.031
Okay, he had a Pro Bowl caliber season with the Bucs.

00:05:26.052 --> 00:05:27.415
Okay, so you even laughing.

00:05:27.415 --> 00:05:28.545
You laughing saying that.

00:05:28.545 --> 00:05:36.190
Okay, so your old guy Baker, who used to be a Carolina Panther so those of you that don't know, diego's the biggest Carolina Panther homer.

00:05:36.190 --> 00:05:39.831
So you're starting off with an old Panther as your number 20.

00:05:39.939 --> 00:05:53.305
He wasn't good for the Panthers, but anyway, he had a Pro Bowl caliber season last year and he is without his offensive coordinator, dave Canales, who has gone from team to team and turned their quarterback situation around.

00:05:53.305 --> 00:05:58.887
I'll tell you more about that later, but he has left, so maybe he may decline.

00:05:58.887 --> 00:06:02.988
But he does have two great receivers in Evans and Godwin.

00:06:02.988 --> 00:06:05.329
So, yeah, they have a good team there.

00:06:05.329 --> 00:06:10.952
Number 19, I have Bryce Young of the Carolina Panthers.

00:06:10.992 --> 00:06:11.932
Carolina Panthers.

00:06:12.754 --> 00:06:14.314
Anyway, he was the number one draft pick.

00:06:14.314 --> 00:06:17.095
In case you guys didn't know, 2023.

00:06:17.095 --> 00:06:19.495
That was a long time ago, that was just last year.

00:06:19.495 --> 00:06:24.038
But anyway, he's the number one draft pick and he didn't have the best season last year.

00:06:24.038 --> 00:06:31.129
Okay, there's a lot of rookies okay a lot of rookies start off.

00:06:31.149 --> 00:06:40.237
They don't have their best years start off, but, um, he did beat cj shroud in the game and, um, you know they do have better receiving core.

00:06:40.237 --> 00:06:47.213
Adam thielen was the best slot receiver in the nfl last year and to add on with that they have Deontay Johnson.

00:06:47.213 --> 00:06:52.012
He's one of the best route runners in the NFL and a great number one receiver.

00:06:52.012 --> 00:06:56.439
And they drafted Xavier Leguette, who's an absolute monster on the field.

00:06:56.439 --> 00:07:02.805
He ran like 22 miles an hour on the field last year, so he's really fast.

00:07:02.805 --> 00:07:04.129
He's going to be a good addition to the team last year.

00:07:04.129 --> 00:07:04.531
So he's really fast.

00:07:04.531 --> 00:07:05.439
He's going to be a good addition to the team.

00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:13.307
And they got added to their running backs, added to their tight ends, and their head coach, dave Canales, is the quarterback wizard.

00:07:13.307 --> 00:07:16.028
He has turned quarterback situations around.

00:07:17.403 --> 00:07:19.189
I see you rocking the Bryce Young jersey.

00:07:19.189 --> 00:07:21.668
I am One of the few people that actually have it.

00:07:21.668 --> 00:07:26.050
There's going to be a lot more people that have it after this year.

00:07:26.050 --> 00:07:30.471
Better watch out, okay All right.

00:07:30.779 --> 00:07:37.507
Anyway, number 18, we have Caleb Williams, the rookie from the Chicago Bears, Number one overall pick for this year.

00:07:37.507 --> 00:07:40.949
I got him this high because he has a good team around him.

00:07:40.949 --> 00:07:49.670
He has DJ Moore, keenan Allen, the rookie first round receiver, roma dunze, um, deandre swift in the backfield.

00:07:49.670 --> 00:07:50.954
They have a good team.

00:07:50.954 --> 00:07:53.180
I think he's gonna put up good numbers with those guys.

00:07:53.180 --> 00:07:57.369
All right, number 17 I got trevor lawrence of the jags.

00:07:57.369 --> 00:08:01.141
Um, yeah, he, um I don't know what to say about him.

00:08:01.141 --> 00:08:14.771
He he's a solid QB and he got paid, and I think he's going to want to bounce back because the Jags didn't reach expectations last year, no, so I think he's going to want to show he was deserving of the contract he got.

00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:16.310
He'll have a better year this year.

00:08:16.350 --> 00:08:17.980
Yeah, all right.

00:08:17.980 --> 00:08:27.817
Number 16, I got Kirk Cousins from the Falcons, new QB on the Falcons, coming off that torn Achilles, so I don't know how well he's going to start off.

00:08:27.817 --> 00:08:31.324
He put up good numbers in Minnesota Even though he had Justin.

00:08:31.324 --> 00:08:32.789
Jefferson doesn't have him anymore.

00:08:32.789 --> 00:08:35.427
I think he'll still be okay.

00:08:35.427 --> 00:08:40.522
Number 15, I got Aaron Rogers of the New York Jets.

00:08:40.522 --> 00:08:53.451
Would have him in the top 10, but with his injury history the torn Achilles last year I think he's not as reliable this year and I think 15 is a good spot to have Matt.

00:08:53.471 --> 00:08:56.254
So you've got your torn Achilles QBs back-to-back.

00:08:56.596 --> 00:08:56.755
Yep.

00:08:56.755 --> 00:09:05.692
These are guys that could be higher on the list, but I don't know how they will start off next year and they're on new teams.

00:09:06.100 --> 00:09:07.466
So these are backup QBs?

00:09:07.466 --> 00:09:09.206
Then yeah, these are backup QBs.

00:09:11.041 --> 00:09:13.889
Number 14, I have Kyler Murray from the Cardinals.

00:09:13.889 --> 00:09:19.159
Last year or two he's been hurt with the ACL.

00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:25.735
That's affected him in both years, but now his ACL is fully healed, healed.

00:09:25.735 --> 00:09:27.621
He's got marvin harrison jr coming in.

00:09:27.621 --> 00:09:35.385
I think he's gonna put up some big numbers coming in the offense and, um, he's also a qb that can throw the ball really far.

00:09:35.385 --> 00:09:40.181
Just receivers, um hat can run a lot pick up points that way.

00:09:40.181 --> 00:09:42.907
So, um, I think he's a good, good qb.

00:09:42.907 --> 00:09:45.633
Have a high-level backup on your fantasy team.

00:09:45.633 --> 00:09:50.030
Okay, number 13, I have Justin Herbert from the Chargers.

00:09:50.030 --> 00:10:05.688
I'm kind of nervous about Justin Herbert having him as a starter because the receivers he doesn't have Keenan Allen or Mark Williams anymore, so his receiving core is a little less reliable.

00:10:05.688 --> 00:10:07.182
He was injured last year.

00:10:07.182 --> 00:10:09.049
He had a shoulder or something like that.

00:10:09.049 --> 00:10:13.927
His touchdowns have declined every single year since 2021.

00:10:13.927 --> 00:10:16.687
2021, he threw for 38 touchdowns.

00:10:16.687 --> 00:10:19.706
2022 was 25 touchdowns.

00:10:19.706 --> 00:10:22.168
Last year it was 20 touchdowns.

00:10:22.168 --> 00:10:24.225
It's been declining every year.

00:10:24.821 --> 00:10:26.908
I don't quite trust him as a starter anymore.

00:10:26.908 --> 00:10:32.432
And I've been saying, I've been saying for years on fantasy shows, go back, check out the previous shows.

00:10:32.432 --> 00:10:34.067
I've had Herbert rated lower.

00:10:34.067 --> 00:10:42.486
I always felt that from a rating standpoint his rating was much higher than the production, and now I think people are starting to see that.

00:10:50.779 --> 00:10:51.743
Yeah, because now he's around on ESPN esp.

00:10:51.743 --> 00:10:54.509
I think I'm at 14 and I have him at 13, so I'm in the same area, number 12, I have tua tug of iloa.

00:10:54.570 --> 00:10:55.072
He just got paid today.

00:10:55.072 --> 00:10:55.493
So he got paid today.

00:10:55.513 --> 00:11:02.027
I paid, he's a four-year 212 million dollar extension all right, 53 million a year, yeah, so.

00:11:02.147 --> 00:11:04.530
So this is friday, july 26th.

00:11:04.591 --> 00:11:12.556
Yep, just got paid time to record this okay yeah, he led the n led the nfl in passing yards last year.

00:11:12.556 --> 00:11:23.707
Yes about third and passing touchdowns he's not going to be skipping camp anymore no, he's going to be able to throw the ball to tyreek and waddle uh, especially in september when it's hot.

00:11:23.707 --> 00:11:27.215
So I think if you can have him on your team as a backup, that is a win.

00:11:28.022 --> 00:11:29.567
But that's what I don't understand.

00:11:29.567 --> 00:11:31.246
That's what you're going to see is different about my list.

00:11:31.246 --> 00:11:39.995
All that stuff you said about Tua, number one in yards Okay, he's got lethal weapons to throw to Okay.

00:11:39.995 --> 00:11:42.066
Why is he number 12?

00:11:42.681 --> 00:11:43.725
Because I don't trust him.

00:11:44.066 --> 00:11:49.471
His injury history man dude, he played all year last year, did he?

00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:52.490
Yeah, yeah he did, he, did, he did.

00:11:52.490 --> 00:11:53.806
I think yeah, injury.

00:11:53.806 --> 00:11:55.432
I think it's going to be okay.

00:11:56.261 --> 00:11:57.326
I think he's going to be okay.

00:11:57.326 --> 00:11:58.740
I think Tua is going to start.

00:11:59.403 --> 00:12:00.748
And he seems to decline.

00:12:00.748 --> 00:12:02.626
He puts up great numbers early.

00:12:02.626 --> 00:12:07.889
And even though he did the numbers overall, he was in the MVP.

00:12:07.889 --> 00:12:09.539
He was about to win MVP for about the first half of the season.

00:12:09.539 --> 00:12:17.812
He was the MVP frontrunner and then his numbers declined late in the season, and that's when you most need your QBs to put up big-time numbers.

00:12:17.953 --> 00:12:18.774
I love having Tua.

00:12:18.774 --> 00:12:23.609
I've had Tua on my rosters the last two years Was he the certified starter.

00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:27.182
What I did with him.

00:12:27.182 --> 00:12:29.447
Because of the injury history I had, I picked a backup pretty quick.

00:12:29.447 --> 00:12:38.471
I either picked him up as my first quarterback and then I quickly picked up another quarterback or I picked him up as a quick second.

00:12:38.471 --> 00:12:40.014
But he's a.

00:12:40.014 --> 00:12:43.486
He's a stud to have on your roster some kind of way.

00:12:43.486 --> 00:12:45.571
I would definitely try, and most people.

00:12:45.571 --> 00:12:47.134
He's going to be low on most drafts.

00:12:47.134 --> 00:12:49.587
You can probably get him seventh, eighth round.

00:12:49.587 --> 00:12:52.607
Tua is a steal to get.

00:12:54.203 --> 00:12:58.327
I'd like to have Tua on my team, but I don't trust him as my certified starter.

00:12:58.327 --> 00:13:02.000
To finish the season he's going to decline, especially when it gets cold.

00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:03.004
You got to have another guy.

00:13:03.004 --> 00:13:12.804
Last year I had him and dac you know, okay, and then I could just go with I could just go week, that's bad because both of them seem to decline late in the season.

00:13:12.825 --> 00:13:15.169
All right, but go go ahead anyway.

00:13:15.551 --> 00:13:21.249
Number 11 I have matthew stafford from the rams uh put up solid numbers last year.

00:13:21.249 --> 00:13:22.490
Not his best season.

00:13:22.490 --> 00:13:26.950
He did deal with a, I think, a few injury, maybe one injury last year.

00:13:26.950 --> 00:13:28.143
He missed about two games.

00:13:28.143 --> 00:13:31.610
But um, I'm confident I'm going in next year because he has.

00:13:31.610 --> 00:13:39.711
He has two certified uh top top 12 15 receivers puka nakua and cooper cup.

00:13:39.711 --> 00:13:48.386
Of course, uh, he's got uh kyron williams, the running back who who was putting up top five numbers last year, and he has the coach, sean McVay.

00:13:48.386 --> 00:13:53.870
So I think he's going to put up more Matthew Stafford-type numbers next year.

00:13:54.230 --> 00:13:55.131
Okay, all right.

00:13:55.131 --> 00:13:57.567
All right, so that's your 20 through 11.

00:13:57.567 --> 00:13:59.427
I'm going to go ahead and go through my 20 through 11.

00:13:59.427 --> 00:14:03.224
See, I'm coming at you from an executive standpoint, from a championship standpoint.

00:14:03.224 --> 00:14:04.884
That's why I got the crisp white shirt.

00:14:04.884 --> 00:14:06.966
Business I'm all about business.

00:14:06.966 --> 00:14:07.947
You know what I'm saying?

00:14:08.229 --> 00:14:10.049
So that's where, maybe because he had to go to work today.

00:14:10.049 --> 00:14:11.351
No, I don't know.

00:14:11.351 --> 00:14:14.495
I don't know if that has anything to do with it All right, this is business.

00:14:14.534 --> 00:14:16.277
I'm an NFL executive, all right.

00:14:16.277 --> 00:14:23.846
So I'm going to give you my 20 through Watson as my number 20.

00:14:23.846 --> 00:14:26.730
All right, now he may have been.

00:14:26.730 --> 00:14:30.755
I don't know what's so funny about that.

00:14:30.755 --> 00:14:35.350
Anyway, espn has him at number 17, so I've got him just a little lower.

00:14:35.350 --> 00:14:38.268
Okay, so your number 20 and 19,.

00:14:38.427 --> 00:14:41.466
I don't have you don't have Bryce on your list.

00:14:41.721 --> 00:14:45.471
No, I don't have Bryce on my list, no I do not All right, all right, no.

00:14:45.471 --> 00:14:46.181
No way on your list.

00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:46.822
no, I don't have bryce on my list.

00:14:46.822 --> 00:14:47.181
No, I do not all right.

00:14:47.181 --> 00:14:47.681
No, no way lost.

00:14:47.620 --> 00:14:52.514
No, how no, no I've got deshaun watson because he has a very high upside.

00:14:52.514 --> 00:14:58.389
So, again, we're talking about number 20, so we're talking about your second, third quarterback at this point.

00:14:58.389 --> 00:15:01.042
So I think deshaun has high value.

00:15:01.042 --> 00:15:06.533
Um, at some point he's gonna have to stay healthy and play, uh, an entire season.

00:15:06.533 --> 00:15:14.005
That guaranteed money is gonna run out at at some point I don't know he's what three, four years in how many more years does he have on his deal?

00:15:14.427 --> 00:15:28.332
he's gonna start thinking about the next deal, gonna have to start putting together a couple healthy seasons the um cleveland defense is loaded, they've got some weapons on offense, so all the the pieces are there for Deshaun to have a good year.

00:15:28.332 --> 00:15:29.585
It's just about health.

00:15:29.585 --> 00:15:32.008
So at number 20, that's great value.

00:15:32.008 --> 00:15:33.966
So I've got Deshaun Watson at number 20.

00:15:33.966 --> 00:15:38.389
Number 19, this is another guy you don't have on your list.

00:15:38.389 --> 00:15:39.432
Again, high value.

00:15:39.432 --> 00:15:42.288
I've got Geno Smith from Seattle.

00:15:42.288 --> 00:15:45.126
Okay, espn has him at 25.

00:15:45.126 --> 00:15:49.527
I think that's really low just looking at his weapons who is he throwing to?

00:15:49.527 --> 00:15:52.620
You know what I mean he's throwing to that beast bryce young throwing to.

00:15:53.422 --> 00:15:57.149
He has some good weapons we have no idea who bryce is throwing to.

00:15:57.570 --> 00:16:03.009
So I just told you his top three receivers are all amazing and we don't know any of them yes, we do.

00:16:03.009 --> 00:16:04.211
No, we don't be serious.

00:16:04.211 --> 00:16:07.548
You don't know deontay johnson no top receiver adam th we don't.

00:16:07.548 --> 00:16:07.969
Are you serious?

00:16:07.969 --> 00:16:13.222
You don't know Deontay Johnson no Top receiver Adam Thielen, who's in the slot, and Xavier Leguette, the rookie no, no, I'm sorry, you're going to know them.

00:16:13.222 --> 00:16:15.389
No, you're going to know them, no, geno.

00:16:15.450 --> 00:16:16.974
Smith, don't worry about it.

00:16:16.974 --> 00:16:28.365
Geno Smith is throwing touchdown, okay, and then he's also throwing who, who's that beast?

00:16:28.365 --> 00:16:28.524
Metcalf?

00:16:28.524 --> 00:16:29.768
He's throwing the metcalf, throwing the metcalf.

00:16:29.768 --> 00:16:30.288
So just those two alone.

00:16:30.288 --> 00:16:36.664
Um, last year he put up 3,624 yards through for 20 touchdowns, nine picks.

00:16:36.664 --> 00:16:39.831
So that that's solid at number 19.

00:16:39.831 --> 00:16:40.533
I got gino.

00:16:40.533 --> 00:16:42.197
19, number 18.

00:16:42.197 --> 00:16:46.530
I have trevor lawrence have him there, that's right where espn has him as well.

00:16:46.530 --> 00:16:51.996
At 18 through for over 4 000 yards last year, 21 touchdowns, 14 picks.

00:16:51.996 --> 00:16:54.162
I feel he's going to have a better year this year.

00:16:54.162 --> 00:17:01.905
Uh, as the jaguars put, uh, put it together, I believe they get into the playoffs and trevor's going to have a much better year.

00:17:01.905 --> 00:17:03.850
So 18, that's high value.

00:17:03.850 --> 00:17:08.125
Uh, you can get him definitely as your second qb number 17.

00:17:08.125 --> 00:17:11.695
I've got justin herbert, so I have him, I think 17.

00:17:11.915 --> 00:17:14.923
Yeah, wow, I've got, I've got her really low I've got.

00:17:15.203 --> 00:17:17.788
So again, he has no weapons to throw.

00:17:17.788 --> 00:17:21.845
To think they're going to run the ball a lot more with jim hallbaugh being there.

00:17:21.845 --> 00:17:31.381
They're going to rely on defense, they're going to win more games, they're going to be a better team, but I feel that, fantasy wise, I don't think he's going to put up a very big number.

00:17:31.381 --> 00:17:32.563
So that's why I have herbert.

00:17:32.563 --> 00:17:35.970
At 17 16, I've got kirk cousins.

00:17:35.970 --> 00:17:39.942
So kirk cousins, he's going to connect with his receivers.

00:17:39.942 --> 00:17:44.351
Uh, he's on a mission to bounce back from that Achilles injury.

00:17:44.351 --> 00:17:46.173
They have a good team.

00:17:46.173 --> 00:17:47.645
They're in a weak division.

00:17:47.645 --> 00:17:51.830
So I feel Kirk puts up big numbers in the regular season.

00:17:51.830 --> 00:17:55.830
So Kirk is a very solid backup to have on your team this year.

00:17:55.830 --> 00:17:58.167
I think Kirk puts it together right now.

00:17:58.721 --> 00:18:01.459
Number 15, I've got Brock Purdy, I've got.

00:18:01.499 --> 00:18:02.684
Brock Ooh, that's pretty low.

00:18:02.840 --> 00:18:03.839
Yeah, I've got Brock Purdy.

00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:05.446
Yeah, ESPN has him at 11.

00:18:05.446 --> 00:18:07.961
But I got brock, that's pretty low.

00:18:07.961 --> 00:18:09.204
Yeah, I got brock purdy, get espn has him at 11 um.

00:18:09.204 --> 00:18:12.673
But everybody after this, I just think, can put up bigger numbers than brock bigger numbers yes, oh, absolutely.

00:18:12.673 --> 00:18:15.568
That team is loaded, so they they run the ball a lot.

00:18:15.568 --> 00:18:17.474
You've got mccaffrey getting his touches.

00:18:17.474 --> 00:18:20.844
Um, they use the other receivers to run the ball.

00:18:20.903 --> 00:18:23.548
So purdy's the one throwing to him.

00:18:23.548 --> 00:18:24.891
Those numbers are his too.

00:18:25.050 --> 00:18:26.914
But a lot of those are handoffs.

00:18:26.914 --> 00:18:28.925
A lot of those are handoffs.

00:18:28.925 --> 00:18:31.064
So I think Purdy again.

00:18:31.184 --> 00:18:32.146
Purdy's a solid QB.

00:18:34.539 --> 00:18:36.027
Would love to have him on my roster.

00:18:36.027 --> 00:18:43.290
I just have him in 15, and everyone that I have 14 through 1, I think has a much higher upside fantasy-wise than Brock.

00:18:43.290 --> 00:18:47.781
So I may take him over some of these other other quarterbacks if I'm running my team.

00:18:47.781 --> 00:18:54.645
But as far as fantasy football numbers and the way that the 49ers are constructed, I think 15 is a great spot for for brock.

00:18:54.645 --> 00:19:01.566
So again, he had 4 280 yards last year, um 31 tds, 11 picks.

00:19:01.566 --> 00:19:03.469
I think those numbers come down.

00:19:03.469 --> 00:19:06.114
I don't think he throws for as many touchdowns this year.

00:19:06.114 --> 00:19:11.190
I think they're going to run the ball a lot more and that's another reason why I have him at 15.

00:19:11.800 --> 00:19:14.229
Number 14, I've got Aaron Rodgers.

00:19:14.229 --> 00:19:16.667
Aaron Rodgers coming off that Achilles.

00:19:16.667 --> 00:19:20.450
If he stays upright, I think that's a good spot for him.

00:19:20.450 --> 00:19:22.968
If he stays upright, you can have even more value.

00:19:22.968 --> 00:19:28.266
Perhaps he starts many games for you, but I'd be leery taking him as my first quarterback.

00:19:28.266 --> 00:19:29.907
I would take him as a second.

00:19:29.907 --> 00:19:32.611
I would feel comfortable with that, aaron Rodgers.

00:19:32.611 --> 00:19:37.596
Number 13, I have Kyler Murray, again, like you said, coming off the injury.

00:19:37.596 --> 00:19:40.505
I feel that he's fully healthy this year.

00:19:40.505 --> 00:19:42.010
He has another weapon in Marvin Harrison Jr.

00:19:42.010 --> 00:19:45.405
So I feel that he puts together a good year fantasy-wise.

00:19:45.405 --> 00:19:47.109
That's why I have him as 13.

00:19:47.109 --> 00:19:53.248
I wouldn't draft him as my starting quarterback, but I would draft him quickly as a second quarterback.

00:19:53.248 --> 00:19:55.528
I feel that he'll be a great backup for this year.

00:19:55.528 --> 00:20:00.987
Perhaps after this year, if he has a good year, maybe he can get back into starting fantasy territory.

00:20:00.987 --> 00:20:04.965
But I think right now he's a backup until we see otherwise.

00:20:04.965 --> 00:20:15.592
For yep, I've got him at number 12 and bryce is better I think he's going to have a big year.

00:20:15.652 --> 00:20:20.106
I think he's going to have a cj stroud type of a rookie season.

00:20:20.106 --> 00:20:24.921
He's got weapons to throw to with dj clark, with um.

00:20:24.921 --> 00:20:28.114
The other guy that came out of um came from the chargers.

00:20:28.114 --> 00:20:29.076
What's my man's name?

00:20:29.378 --> 00:20:30.361
you don't even know his name.

00:20:30.441 --> 00:20:31.321
Come on, man, help me out.

00:20:31.321 --> 00:20:32.242
What's my god?

00:20:32.242 --> 00:20:44.963
Keenan allen, keenan allen, keenan alley's got him uh man, they're going to be strong and I like him as a backup, but um, he I think can have a cj stroud type of a season.

00:20:44.963 --> 00:20:47.449
So I have him at number 12 and number 11.

00:20:47.449 --> 00:20:54.709
Before I kick it back over to you, before I get into my top 10, I've got matthew stafford at number 11, matthew stafford.

00:20:54.709 --> 00:21:08.261
He put up 3965 yards last year, had 24 tds, 11 uh picks in 15 games, so if he played 16 or 17 games he would have broken the 4000 yard barrier.

00:21:08.261 --> 00:21:15.855
He's got the receivers with puka, with um uh cup, so he definitely has the weapons.

00:21:16.257 --> 00:21:20.345
Feel that he puts up big numbers and I'd be fine with him being my starter.

00:21:20.345 --> 00:21:22.229
I I'd be okay with that.

00:21:22.229 --> 00:21:24.233
So I would definitely take him.

00:21:24.233 --> 00:21:31.208
Especially if you want to really stack up the rest of your roster and just get your quarterback after everybody else has gotten them, stafford should be there.

00:21:31.208 --> 00:21:34.809
I'd feel comfortable with him being my starting fantasy qb.

00:21:34.809 --> 00:21:39.490
As long as I have a loaded roster around him, I'd be fine with that, all right.

00:21:40.101 --> 00:21:43.790
All right, let me tell you something you said caleb williams is 12.

00:21:43.790 --> 00:21:45.847
Let me tell you something about first overall picks.

00:21:45.847 --> 00:21:49.983
Um, there's a lot of pressure with that comes with being the first overall pick.

00:21:49.983 --> 00:21:55.506
Yeah, no matter how bad or good your roster is, um, it's just a lot.

00:21:55.506 --> 00:21:59.165
It's just a lot of pressure, especially with the Bears with their weapons on the team.

00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:09.948
There's going to be a lot of eyes on them this year to perform, and that's part of the reason why I think he's a little lower and there's still a lot of learning he has to do.

00:22:10.941 --> 00:22:12.888
All right, we're going to see.

00:22:12.888 --> 00:22:14.326
That's good analysis there.

00:22:14.326 --> 00:22:15.222
We're going to see do you know?

00:22:15.222 --> 00:22:15.723
So, okay, all right.

00:22:15.723 --> 00:22:16.467
All right, we're gonna see this.

00:22:16.467 --> 00:22:17.269
Good, good analysis there.

00:22:17.269 --> 00:22:17.750
We're gonna see.

00:22:17.750 --> 00:22:20.720
Well, we'll see if he can exceed the very low bar that, uh, bryce young, laid out there.

00:22:20.759 --> 00:22:23.125
We'll see if he can eyes were on bryce last year.

00:22:23.405 --> 00:22:29.446
Okay, all right, all right, man, let's give us, uh, give us your top 10, who you got all right, number 10.

00:22:29.507 --> 00:22:31.731
I'm starting off with cj stroud um.

00:22:31.731 --> 00:22:32.452
Last year.

00:22:32.452 --> 00:22:38.751
He was about in this territory, despite how everyone's says he's a top five quarterback last year.

00:22:38.751 --> 00:22:42.849
That's what people are saying, but he was about the number 10th quarterback.

00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:55.740
He's eighth in yards, 13th in touchdowns, so he was about number 10 if you combine everything together and then I don't see a lot of improvement with cj.

00:22:55.740 --> 00:23:00.029
Because the um, because the pressure is up on him.

00:23:00.029 --> 00:23:03.542
This year, you know, last year there wasn't a lot of pressure on him.

00:23:03.542 --> 00:23:07.090
All the eyes were on bryce, um, cj.

00:23:07.090 --> 00:23:10.045
They just expected him to come in there, not play good and just whatever.

00:23:10.045 --> 00:23:11.869
But uh, he did play.

00:23:11.930 --> 00:23:17.403
He did happen to get lucky and play good you see, look you, you okay taking all that out.

00:23:17.403 --> 00:23:20.088
You realized he got digs right.

00:23:20.088 --> 00:23:21.972
Yeah, realize that, don't you?

00:23:22.272 --> 00:23:23.663
and that's why I have him in the same.

00:23:23.663 --> 00:23:25.289
If he didn't have digs I would have.

00:23:25.289 --> 00:23:27.538
I would have him lower man but, I.

00:23:27.538 --> 00:23:30.707
I think he's gonna have about the same exact year.

00:23:30.846 --> 00:23:31.348
Hate, hate.

00:23:31.368 --> 00:23:33.422
No, I'm just saying there are a lot of eyes on them.

00:23:33.422 --> 00:23:37.571
They're expecting, expecting the texans to be in the playoffs and win a game.

00:23:37.571 --> 00:23:40.147
So you know there's a lot of expectations.

00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:40.962
That's why I have him.

00:23:41.064 --> 00:23:45.670
At this spot, Number nine, I have Jordan Love from the Packers.

00:23:45.670 --> 00:23:47.826
He put up great numbers last year.

00:23:47.826 --> 00:24:03.911
He was seventh in yards and second in TDs and with the receiving core the young receiving core that they had that receiving core has got another year of experience, so they're going to be better.

00:24:03.911 --> 00:24:09.704
Jordan Love he hasn't got paid yet, so that's kind of messed up, so I think he's going to be pretty pumped for this year.

00:24:09.724 --> 00:24:10.586
I don't know if it's messed up.

00:24:10.586 --> 00:24:17.488
I mean he's put together one good year so I mean there were question marks of if he could even play for a while there.

00:24:17.488 --> 00:24:18.170
We didn't know if it's messed up.

00:24:18.170 --> 00:24:19.073
I mean okay, he's put together one good year.

00:24:19.073 --> 00:24:21.078
So I mean, if there were question marks of if he could even play for a while there, we didn't know.

00:24:21.078 --> 00:24:22.020
So okay, finally put together.

00:24:22.442 --> 00:24:32.749
You know, I guess he's not like he had any bad years like yeah, I mean there were some games that when, when he first came in for rogers he looked awful, it looked like like, yes, he did.

00:24:32.749 --> 00:24:36.154
So I mean again, yes, should he get paid?

00:24:36.154 --> 00:24:37.819
Yeah, but I don't think it's a tragedy.

00:24:37.819 --> 00:24:41.891
I don't think it's a tragedy for him to have to show one more year.

00:24:41.891 --> 00:24:43.467
I don't think that's a problem at all.

00:24:45.204 --> 00:24:46.608
He's going to play great this year.

00:24:46.608 --> 00:24:51.230
So yeah, number eight, brock Purdy from the Niners.

00:24:51.230 --> 00:24:58.830
Let me tell you the numbers he had Fifth in passing yards, third in passing touchdowns.

00:24:58.830 --> 00:25:08.590
Those are some pretty legit numbers and got his team to the Super Bowl and played well in the playoffs and he has a stacked roster around him and a good coach.

00:25:08.590 --> 00:25:33.006
The only question I have about Purdy is that if Christian McCaffrey gets hurt, or Debo or Kittle gets hurt, one of those guys he may have a few get a game or two where he just happens to throw three interceptions and I happens to, and, but that's just one game, okay, and that and the other game is going to be great 300 yards, three TDs, but that game or two he's going to be great.

00:25:33.006 --> 00:25:36.317
300 yards, three TDs, but that game or two he's going to be awful.

00:25:36.317 --> 00:25:38.586
So that's the thing I'm worried about with him.

00:25:38.740 --> 00:25:46.108
Well, the MVP of that team, trent Williams, is holding out for his money, and if he doesn't get his money, they're all going to be way worse.

00:25:46.369 --> 00:25:49.666
All right, brock Purdy is going to be great regardless.

00:25:49.666 --> 00:25:52.382
Okay, okay, number seven.

00:25:52.382 --> 00:25:53.063
I got Jared Goff on the Lions.

00:25:53.063 --> 00:25:53.663
He, okay, okay, number seven.

00:25:53.663 --> 00:25:54.766
I got Jared Goff on the Lions.

00:25:54.766 --> 00:25:58.173
He was second in yards last year and fourth in touchdowns.

00:25:58.173 --> 00:26:17.059
We all know the Lions are going to be slinging the ball all over the field with St Brown and the other speedy receivers they got on the team Laporte of the tight end, jameer Gibbs, can catch balls out the backfield, um, so he's gonna put.

00:26:17.099 --> 00:26:29.195
He has great weapons around in the throw too and a lot of options detroit I think he went in the super bowl detroit whatever I'd have him not not suitable, they may get there.

00:26:29.195 --> 00:26:32.465
